The carbon dioxide laser market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.91 billion in 2024 to $4.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to introduction of co₂ lasers in medicine, expansion in material processing, the rise of the electronics industry, growth in aesthetic surgery, and environmental regulations and safety standards.

The carbon dioxide laser market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.38 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to improved efficiency, investment in infrastructure, cost reduction, improved laser lifespan, and subsidies and incentives. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, ongoing innovations, improved beam quality, higher power outputs, and better cooling systems.

The increasing demand for cosmetic surgeries is expected to drive the growth of the carbon dioxide laser market. Cosmetic surgery involves procedures designed to enhance or alter a person's appearance for aesthetic purposes, including treatments such as facelifts, breast augmentation, and liposuction. The rise in demand for these surgeries is influenced by factors such as social media, the popularity of non-surgical facelifts, minimally invasive techniques, and concerns related to self-esteem and psychological well-being. Carbon dioxide lasers are gaining popularity in cosmetic procedures due to their precision in skin resurfacing, which helps reduce wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation. For example, the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons reported in March 2023 that 31,057 cosmetic procedures were performed in 2022, representing a 102% increase from the previous year. Women accounted for 93% of these procedures, reflecting a 101% rise from 2021, while men made up 7%, with an increase of 118% from the prior year. This growing demand for cosmetic surgeries is contributing to the expansion of the carbon dioxide laser market.

Leading companies in the carbon dioxide laser market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as smart cameras that aid in positioning toolpaths and scanning work areas. Smart cameras are sophisticated imaging systems integrated with laser equipment to monitor, analyze, and control laser operations. For instance, in April 2023, xTool, a China-based industrial machinery manufacturer, introduced the P2 Intelligent 55W CO2 Laser Cutter. This new cutter is designed for makers and small businesses seeking a professional-grade laser cutter at a lower cost than industrial models. It features smart cameras for precise work, automatic passthrough for long materials, and 360-degree engraving capabilities. The machine is fully enclosed with enhanced safety options, including optional fire safety and smoke purification systems.

In August 2024, TroGroup GmbH, an Austria-based company that produces and distributes marking products and engraving materials, acquired Luxinar Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to integrate Luxinar's advanced laser technologies into TroGroup's existing product lineup, thereby offering a more comprehensive range of marking and engraving solutions. Luxinar Ltd., based in the UK, specializes in sealed carbon dioxide (CO2) and ultrashort pulse lasers.

A carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is a high-powered gas laser that utilizes carbon dioxide as the lasing medium to produce infrared light. It is commonly used for cutting, engraving, and medical procedures due to its precision and effectiveness in targeting water-containing tissues. CO2 lasers are known for their efficiency in both material processing and surgical applications.

The main types of CO2 lasers are categorized by their power output, up to 50W, 50W to 500W, 500W to 1000W, and above 1000W. A 50W CO2 laser refers to a laser system with a power output of 50 watts, suited for precise cutting, engraving, and medical applications. Applications of CO2 lasers include therapeutic and diagnostic procedures, lidar imaging, cutting and perforations, welding, and drilling. The end-use industries for CO2 lasers encompass military and defense, aerospace, metal processing, healthcare, manufacturing, automotive, and telecommunications.
